Re: Individual letter on F/Lt. Frederick Hilley Bradford's P-51 Mustang MK.IV?

Hello,

Sdn Ldr Westrena's P51 III is shown in a photo "YT-J" the Spinner is dark in colour and is said to have been Red in colour. "J" had the normal camoflage with white nose band and sky aft fuselage band.

Andy Thomas did a good peice on 65 Sqdn in Scale Aircraft Modelling way back in 1988, perhaps he could add to this some further details.

In 1945 two of 65's Mustangs went down in Sweden,

YT-E, KH695 of F/L G.C.S. Pearson was in camoflage had sky spinner.
while the earlier crash was FZ110 "YT-S" of F/Sgt. R.T.Williams.

Other a/c were KH643 - YT-S
KH684 - YT-C; KH775 - YT-X; KM140 YT-E; KM314 YT-L.
All for now great profiles by the way like them.

Alex
